ABOUT US

Cornerstone Youth is a place for middle and high school students to gather together to grow in their relationship with Jesus through teaching, worship, and connecting with other students and leaders through small groups.

NEW TO YOUTH?

Being new to Cornerstone Youth is an exciting opportunity to connect with others and explore your faith in a welcoming community. You'll quickly find a place where you belong, surrounded by peers and leaders who are eager to support and encourage your growth. We would love for you to get connected with us.

WEEKLY SMALL GROUPS

Small groups create belonging by offering a close-knit environment where individuals can connect deeply and feel valued. The shared experiences and support within these groups foster strong bonds, making everyone feel like an essential part of the community.

LEAD WITH US

Leading in Cornerstone Youth allows you to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people by guiding their spiritual growth and helping them navigate life’s challenges. It also offers a unique opportunity to inspire the next generation, fostering a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment in your own faith journey.

PARENTS

We believe that God has made parents the primary disciple makers of their children. At Cornerstone Youth we aim to partner with parents as their children mature in faith. Check out the resources tab for parenting resources.
